* ``Command-/StateInterfaces`` are now created and exported automatically by the framework via the ``on_export_command_interfaces()`` or ``on_export_state_interfaces()`` methods based on the interfaces defined in the ``ros2_control`` XML-tag, which gets parsed and the ``InterfaceDescription`` is created accordingly (check the `hardware_info.hpp<https://github.com/ros-controls/ros2_control/tree/{REPOS_FILE_BRANCH}/hardware_interface/include/hardware_interface/hardware_info.hpp>`__).

* The memory for storing the value of a ``Command-/StateInterfaces`` is no longer allocated in the hardware but instead in the ``Command-/StateInterfaces`` itself.

* To access the automatically created ``Command-/StateInterfaces`` we provide to ``std::unordered_map<std::string, InterfaceDescription>``. Where the string is the fully qualified name of the interface and the ``InterfaceDescription`` the configuration of the interface. The ``std::unordered_map<>`` are divided into ``type_state_interfaces_`` and ``type_command_interfaces_`` where type can be: ``joint``, ``sensor``, ``gpio`` and ``unlisted``. E.g. the ``CommandInterfaces`` for all joints can be found in the ``joint_command_interfaces_`` map. The ``unlisted`` includes all interfaces not listed in the .ros2_control.xacro but created by overriding the ``export_command_interfaces_2()`` or ``export_state_interfaces_2()`` function and creating some custom ``Command-/StateInterfaces``.

In case the default implementation (``on_export_command_interfaces()`` or ``on_export_state_interfaces()`` ) for exporting the ``Command-/StateInterfaces`` is not enough you can override them. You should however consider the following things:

* Don't forget to store the created ``Command-/StateInterfaces`` internally as you only return shared_ptrs and the resource manager will not provide access to the created ``Command-/StateInterfaces`` for the hardware. So you must take care of storing them yourself.
